إِشَعْيَاءَ 40
| عَزُّوا، عَزُّوا شَعْبِي، يَقُولُ إِلَهُكُمْ. | ١ 1 |
“Comfort, yes comfort my people!” says your God.
| طَيِّبُوا قَلْبَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَنَادُوهَا بِأَنَّ جِهَادَهَا قَدْ كَمُلَ، أَنَّ إِثْمَهَا قَدْ عُفِيَ عَنْهُ، أَنَّهَا قَدْ قَبِلَتْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ ضِعْفَيْنِ عَنْ كُلِّ خَطَايَاهَا. | ٢ 2 |
“Speak lovingly to the people of Jerusalem, telling them that their hard times are over, that their sins have been forgiven, and that the Lord has paid them twice over for their sins.”
| صَوْتُ صَارِخٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ: «أَعِدُّوا طَرِيقَ ٱلرَّبِّ. قَوِّمُوا فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ سَبِيلًا لِإِلَهِنَا. | ٣ 3 |
A voice is heard calling, “Prepare the way for the Lord in the wilderness, make a straight highway for our God through the desert.
| كُلُّ وَطَاءٍ يَرْتَفِعُ، وَكُلُّ جَبَلٍ وَأَكَمَةٍ يَنْخَفِضُ، وَيَصِيرُ ٱلْمُعْوَجُّ مُسْتَقِيمًا، وَٱلْعَرَاقِيبُ سَهْلًا. | ٤ 4 |
Fill in all the valleys; level all the mountains and hills; smooth out the uneven ground; make the rough places flat.
| فَيُعْلَنُ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَيَرَاهُ كُلُّ بَشَرٍ جَمِيعًا، لِأَنَّ فَمَ ٱلرَّبِّ تَكَلَّمَ». | ٥ 5 |
The Lord's glory will be revealed, and everyone will see it together. This is what the Lord has declared.”
| صَوْتُ قَائِلٍ: «نَادِ». فَقَالَ: «بِمَاذَا أُنَادِي؟» «كُلُّ جَسَدٍ عُشْبٌ، وَكُلُّ جَمَالِهِ كَزَهْرِ ٱلْحَقْلِ. | ٦ 6 |
A voice is heard saying, “Shout it out.” I asked, “What shall I shout?” “All human beings are like grass, and all their trustworthiness is like the flowers of the field.
| يَبِسَ ٱلْعُشْبُ، ذَبُلَ ٱلزَّهْرُ، لِأَنَّ نَفْخَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ هَبَّتْ عَلَيْهِ. حَقًّا ٱلشَّعْبُ عُشْبٌ! | ٧ 7 |
The grass wilts and the flower fades when the Lord's breathes on them. Yes, the people are grass!
| يَبِسَ ٱلْعُشْبُ، ذَبُلَ ٱلزَّهْرُ. وَأَمَّا كَلِمَةُ إِلَهِنَا فَتَثْبُتُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». | ٨ 8 |
However, even though the grass wilts and the flower fades, the word of our God will endure forever.”
| عَلَى جَبَلٍ عَالٍ ٱصْعَدِي، يَا مُبَشِّرَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ. ٱرْفَعِي صَوْتَكِ بِقُوَّةٍ، يَا مُبَشِّرَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٱرْفَعِي لَا تَخَافِي. قُولِي لِمُدُنِ يَهُوذَا: «هُوَذَا إِلَهُكِ. | ٩ 9 |
Zion, bringer of good news, go up a high mountain. Jerusalem, bringer of good news, raise your voice and shout out loud. Don't be afraid to shout really loud! Tell the towns of Judah, “Here is your God!”
| هُوَذَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِقُوَّةٍ يَأْتِي وَذِرَاعُهُ تَحْكُمُ لَهُ. هُوَذَا أُجْرَتُهُ مَعَهُ وَعُمْلَتُهُ قُدَّامَهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
Look! The Lord God is coming with power! He will rule with a firm hand. Look! He's bringing his reward with him, coming to give his gift.
| كَرَاعٍ يَرْعَى قَطِيعَهُ. بِذِرَاعِهِ يَجْمَعُ ٱلْحُمْلَانَ، وَفِي حِضْنِهِ يَحْمِلُهَا، وَيَقُودُ ٱلْمُرْضِعَاتِ». | ١١ 11 |
He looks after his flock like a shepherd. He picks up the lambs in his arms and holds them close to his chest. He leads those that are nursing young.
| مَنْ كَالَ بِكَفِّهِ ٱلْمِيَاهَ، وَقَاسَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ بِٱلشِّبْرِ، وَكَالَ بِٱلْكَيْلِ تُرَابَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَوَزَنَ ٱلْجِبَالَ بِٱلْقَبَّانِ، وَٱلْآكَامَ بِٱلْمِيزَانِ؟ | ١٢ 12 |
Who has measured the waters he holds in the palm of his hand? Who has marked off the heavens with the span of his hand? Who has worked out the amount of dust of the earth? Who has weighed the mountains on a scale and the hills with a balance?
| مَنْ قَاسَ رُوحَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَمَنْ مُشِيرُهُ يُعَلِّمُهُ؟ | ١٣ 13 |
Who has measured the Spirit of the Lord, or taught him what to do as his counselor?
| مَنِ ٱسْتَشَارَهُ فَأَفْهَمَهُ وَعَلَّمَهُ فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْحَقِّ، وَعَلَّمَهُ مَعْرِفَةً وَعَرَّفَهُ سَبِيلَ ٱلْفَهْمِ.؟ | ١٤ 14 |
Who did the Lord go to for advice to help him understand? Who taught him right from wrong? Who gave him knowledge and showed him the way of wisdom?
| هُوَذَا ٱلْأُمَمُ كَنُقْطَةٍ مِنْ دَلْوٍ، وَكَغُبَارِ ٱلْمِيزَانِ تُحْسَبُ. هُوَذَا ٱلْجَزَائِرُ يَرْفَعُهَا كَدُقَّةٍ! | ١٥ 15 |
It's obvious that the nations are just a drop in a bucket. They're like dust on a set of scales. He can pick up islands as if they weigh next to nothing.
| وَلُبْنَانُ لَيْسَ كَافِيًا لِلْإِيقَادِ، وَحَيَوَانُهُ لَيْسَ كَافِيًا لِمُحْرَقَةٍ. | ١٦ 16 |
All the wood in Lebanon for a fire and all its animals as a sacrifice wouldn't be enough a burnt offering.
| كُلُّ ٱلْأُمَمِ كَلَا شَيْءٍ قُدَّامَهُ. مِنَ ٱلْعَدَمِ وَٱلْبَاطِلِ تُحْسَبُ عِنْدَهُ. | ١٧ 17 |
To him all the nations are like nothing. He counts them as less than nothing—like they don't exist.
| فَبِمَنْ تُشَبِّهُونَ ٱللهَ، وَأَيَّ شَبَهٍ تُعَادِلُونَ بِهِ؟ | ١٨ 18 |
Who do you think is like God? What image do you think he looks like?
| اَلصَّنَمُ يَسْبِكُهُ ٱلصَّانِعُ، وَٱلصَّائِغُ يُغَشِّيهِ بِذَهَبٍ وَيَصُوغُ سَلَاسِلَ فِضَّةٍ. | ١٩ 19 |
Is he a metal idol that a craftsman casts in a mold, and then a goldsmith overlays it with gold and makes silver chains for it?
| ٱلْفَقِيرُ عَنِ ٱلتَّقْدِمَةِ يَنْتَخِبُ خَشَبًا لَا يُسَوِّسُ، يَطْلُبُ لَهُ صَانِعًا مَاهِرًا لِيَنْصُبَ صَنَمًا لَا يَتَزَعْزَعُ! | ٢٠ 20 |
Those who are too poor to pay for that choose wood that won't rot, then they look for a skilled wood-carver to make an idol that won't fall over.
| أَلَا تَعْلَمُونَ؟ أَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ؟ أَلَمْ تُخْبَرُوا مِنَ ٱلْبَدَاءَةِ؟ أَلَمْ تَفْهَمُوا مِنْ أَسَاسَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ | ٢١ 21 |
Don't you know? Haven't you heard? Hasn't it been explained to you from the very beginning? Haven't you understood from the time the world was created?
| ٱلْجَالِسُ عَلَى كُرَةِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَسُكَّانُهَا كَٱلْجُنْدُبِ. ٱلَّذِي يَنْشُرُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ كَسَرَادِقَ، وَيَبْسُطُهَا كَخَيْمَةٍ لِلسَّكَنِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
God sits on his throne above the horizon of the earth; the people that live there are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain, spreading them out like a tent to live in.
| ٱلَّذِي يَجْعَلُ ٱلْعُظَمَاءَ لَا شَيْئًا، وَيُصَيِّرُ قُضَاةَ ٱلْأَرْضِ كَٱلْبَاطِلِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
He brings leaders down; he makes the rulers of the world like nothing.
| لَمْ يُغْرَسُوا بَلْ لَمْ يُزْرَعُوا وَلَمْ يَتَأَصَّلْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ سَاقُهُمْ. فَنَفَخَ أَيْضًا عَلَيْهِمْ فَجَفُّوا، وَٱلْعَاصِفُ كَٱلْعَصْفِ يَحْمِلُهُمْ. | ٢٤ 24 |
In fact they are hardly even planted, hardly even sown, hardly even taken root, when he blows on them and they wither, and the wind carries them away like straw.
| «فَبِمَنْ تُشَبِّهُونَنِي فَأُسَاوِيَهُ؟» يَقُولُ ٱلْقُدُّوسُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
“Who are you going to compare me with? Who is equal to me?” asks the Holy One.
| ٱرْفَعُوا إِلَى ٱلْعَلَاءِ عُيُونَكُمْ وَٱنْظُرُوا، مَنْ خَلَقَ هَذِهِ؟ مَنِ ٱلَّذِي يُخْرِجُ بِعَدَدٍ جُنْدَهَا، يَدْعُو كُلَّهَا بِأَسْمَاءٍ؟ لِكَثْرَةِ ٱلْقُوَّةِ وَكَوْنِهِ شَدِيدَ ٱلْقُدْرَةِ لَا يُفْقَدُ أَحَدٌ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Look at the heavens. Who created all this? He leads the stars like an army, and calls each one by name. Because he has great power and incredible strength, not a single one of them is missing.
| لِمَاذَا تَقُولُ يَا يَعْقُوبُ وَتَتَكَلَّمُ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ: «قَدِ ٱخْتَفَتْ طَرِيقِي عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَفَاتَ حَقِّي إِلَهِي»؟ | ٢٧ 27 |
Why do you speak like this, Jacob, and why do you say, Israel, “The Lord doesn't see what's happening to me, and he's ignoring my rights!”
| أَمَا عَرَفْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ؟ إِلَهُ ٱلدَّهْرِ ٱلرَّبُّ خَالِقُ أَطْرَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ لَا يَكِلُّ وَلَا يَعْيَا. لَيْسَ عَنْ فَهْمِهِ فَحْصٌ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Don't you know? Haven't you heard? The Lord is the eternal God, the Creator of the whole earth. He's never weak or tired; you can't find out all he knows.
| يُعْطِي ٱلْمُعْيِيَ قُدْرَةً، وَلِعَدِيمِ ٱلْقُوَّةِ يُكَثِّرُ شِدَّةً. | ٢٩ 29 |
He gives strength to the weary and power the powerless.
| اَلْغِلْمَانُ يُعْيُونَ وَيَتْعَبُونَ، وَٱلْفِتْيَانُ يَتَعَثَّرُونَ تَعَثُّرًا. | ٣٠ 30 |
Even young people grow weak and tired—they fall down when they're exhausted.
| وَأَمَّا مُنْتَظِرُو ٱلرَّبِّ فَيُجَدِّدُونَ قُوَّةً. يَرْفَعُونَ أَجْنِحَةً كَٱلنُّسُورِ. يَرْكُضُونَ وَلَا يَتْعَبُونَ. يَمْشُونَ وَلَا يُعْيُونَ. | ٣١ 31 |
But those who trust in the Lord will have their strength renewed. They will fly high with wings like eagles. They will run and not be tired. They will walk and not be worn out.
